Guest Singers From The UAE Shine On Music Travel Love’s Latest Cover Of Stand By Me

Identical twins Bob and Clint Moffatt, known for their project Music Travel Love, have journeyed far in their musical career. Their musical journey began at a tender age, joining the Moffatt family band at just three years old in 1987. Alongside their older brother Scott and fraternal twin Dave, they made their first stage appearance on Timmy’s Springtime Telethon in 1988.

The Moffatt brothers’ transition to Music Travel Love (MTL) in 2018 marked a new chapter in their musical exploration. With MTL, Bob and Clint embarked on a mission to “travel the world making music, friends, videos, and memories.” Their videos often feature the duo performing, while others showcase collaborations with talented musicians.

One of their standout performances is their rendition of “Stand By Me,” initially released as a duo version in 2018, garnering 67 million views on YouTube. However, their recent rendition filmed at Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, has quickly gained traction, accumulating 5.3 million views in just two months. Viewers have been captivated by the seamless harmonies and soulful rendition, transforming an old favorite into a new cherished song.

The Abu Dhabi rendition of “Stand By Me” features guest singer Arqam Al Abri, along with emerging talents Suzan Sadek, Donia El Hendi, and Maya Mashour. While Arqam’s soulful voice takes the lead in the first verse, the accompanying vocalists add depth and richness to the performance. Notably, the musical arrangement also includes Yudhis Arianto on piano and strings, recorded in a hotel room before the outdoor shoot.

Arqam Al Abri, known for his luscious soulful vocals, has made a significant impact on the music scene in the UAE. His songs like “Heavy” and “Towards The Light” have garnered attention, showcasing his diverse musical influences ranging from Motown to Neo Soul. Arqam’s aspirations include exploring Arabic music and incorporating eclectic influences like Lenny Kravitz and Radiohead into his repertoire.

Maya Mashour, a talented musician, achieved recognition by winning the advanced RnP category at the Abu Dhabi Young Musician Award 2022. Susan Sadek, an Egyptian singer-songwriter, balances her music career with studying interactive design at New York University Abu Dhabi. Donia El Hendi, known as donía, has made her mark with covers and original songs on various platforms.

Music Travel Love’s collaboration with these talented UAE guest singers not only produced a remarkable cover of “Stand By Me” but also provided a global platform for their exceptional voices. Through their music, MTL continues to celebrate diversity and collaboration, creating memorable experiences for their audience worldwide.

Stand by me.

The video below is of a modern-day group singing an old “soft rock” classic. The group is “Music Travel Love” (with a few more folks added for this song). They sing “Stand By Me”. The video was taken at Al Ain, in Abu Dhabi.

“ Music Travel Love ” is the two brothers (Canadians) who play guitar in the video below. They have been playing and singing and performing professionally since they were 4 years old and have 7 albums out. The other people in the video (the man on the right and the three women on the left) join the brothers for this song. Those two fellows are excellent on their own, but the other people sure add to this performance!

Of course, the song “Stand by Me” refers to that one special person in your life, the one you love. But it also talks to all of us, and reminds all of us to care for each other and help each other, to stand by each other.

And … if you want to hear the original … the 1961 recording of this song by Ben E. King, here it is. If you’re of an age to remember this original, like I am, I bet you’ll be dancing in your chair. 🙂

My husband just asked why I was bouncing in my chair. I said “I’m not bouncing, I’m dancing!” 🙂

Beautiful rendition of this song, thanks for sharing! It reminds me of my dear Lord God who never leaves me or forsake me. I’m dancing in my chair, my heart & on my feet!

Oh that takes me back! Gotta haul out the old vinyl. More dancin’. 🙂

I’m not one for dancing, but you had even me dancing in my chair … well, just a little bit! 🙂

Ben E. King was one of my favorite artists (tho there were so many). He did “Up On the Roof” and “This Magic Moment” and “Save the Last Dance for Me” and “Under the Boardwalk”. Wow this takes me back. Oh and “Spanish Harlem”. I am dancin’!! 🙂

Definitely some head bobbing going on over here. For both versions! Thank you for posting these! Soooooo fun!

Amen to the Lord standing with us, Mila. And I really like how “inclusive” Ann is in a lot of her blog posts including this one. We are, all of us on the planet, in this together. Thanks Ann! 🙂 Got me dancin’!

My feet were dancing! Felt young again. 🙂

Your camping blogs are super. And the non-camping blog posts you post in between are equally super. Dancing in my chair! 🙂 Also thanks to Ben for other songs that Ben E King sang, great songs. Up on the roooooof.

Yep, loved this. 🙂 Dancing!

All you wonderful Readers … I am so glad you liked this, and that the videos got you dancing, whether on your feet on in your chair (and in your hearts). Your comments always make my day. Here’s to happiness! 🙂 Ann
